England overcame difficult conditions against physical opponents, but were denied victory over the United States after they conceded a goal with three minutes left to finish 2-2 in the Champions Challenge in Baku, Azerbaijan, yesterday.

Forced to leave out the experienced Jennie Bimson, Lucilla Wright and Helen Grant, who were injured, and Kerry Williams and Becky Herbert, who had exams, Danny Kerry, the coach, experimented with several promising youngsters, including Hayley Brown, Hannah Macleod and Natalie Seymour, with an eye to the European Championships in Manchester in August.
